Crossing the Blues

KTM X-BOW by MTM


KTM's X-Bow doesn't really need any help to be extreme. It is born that way. But MTM wasn't satisfied, so they took their tuning ways to the car's engine and brakes to make it even more of a trackday star.


Up from the standard 240hp (177kW) the KTM X Bow by MTM produces 318 hp and 420 Nm of torque coupled to a 6-speed manual H circuit transmission helping ferry energy to the rear-wheel drive system.


Adding to the MTM X-Bow's performance ability is a set of four-piston Brembo calipers, 305mm rotors and 18in alloy wheels. Nokian Hakkapelliita-4 tires in 245/40 provide the sticky. Top speed rises just a tick to 156mph (251km/h) - plenty fast in an open-cockpit car unless you've got GP-driver neck muscles.


Top speed on this thing is 251 km/h (156mph), apparently made especially for those of you who think 250 km/h is just too slow. By the way, what kind of car is this, really? Does it drive well on sand?

The vehicle and tuning package will cost you 64,263 euros inclduing the base price of 56,953 euros for the KTM X Bow.
